An international research team boosted triple-junction solar cell performance by enhancing perovskite crystal growth, increasing middle-cell light absorption, and adding reflective nanoparticles.

The previous solar efficiency record has now been broken, and this one could have ...

If you rewind the clock fifteen or twenty years, residential solar energy was a tough sell. The systems were incredibly expensive, wildly inefficient, and—let’s be brutally honest—they were usually an ...

China has quietly pulled off a feat that solar engineers have chased for years, pushing a new cell design to record efficiency by hiding its most important features beneath the surface. Instead of ...

Perovskites are promising materials for solar cells. A layer of dipolar molecules at the perovskite surface improves the efficiency of these devices. Read the paper: All-perovskite tandem solar cells ...

The LEEMONS project is researching nanostructured silicon that uses low-energy electron multiplication (LEEM) to allow one high-energy photon to generate multiple electrons, reducing energy losses in ...
